Alarming Twist: Teacher, Alissa McCommon, Accused of Sexual Assault Hints at Being Pregnant For Her Student

In a disturbing case unfolding in Tennessee, an elementary school teacher stands accused of sexually assaulting a boy when he was just 12 years old. Alissa McCommon, a 38-year-old fourth-grade teacher from Covington, allegedly implied that she is pregnant with the child of her victim during a recorded phone call played in a Tipton County courtroom.

The victim reported to the police that he had been sexually assaulted by McCommon while spending the night at her residence in 2021 when he was only 12 years old. Following the initial arrest on September 8, McCommon faced charges of child rape. However, she was released on a $250,000 bond. Troublingly, she was rearrested on September 28 and faced additional charges of coercing, harassing, and stalking the victim.

A significant development in the case occurred when McCommon violated the terms of her bond by contacting the victim using an undisclosed phone number. Subsequently, a judge revoked her second bond. 

Covington Police Chief Donna Turner expressed deep concern about McCommon's actions and their implications. She raised the possibility that others might have been contacted and emphasized the ongoing collaboration with the District Attorney's Office to address the bond revocation and potential additional charges.

In messages sent to the victim, McCommon conveyed her fear and requested that he refrain from revealing their communication. She admitted her mistake and expressed concern about getting into trouble. 

Furthermore, McCommon confessed in September to inappropriate interactions with former students through online video games and social media apps, including sending explicit photographs and soliciting sexual relationships.

The investigation into McCommon began following information from the Department of Children Services, which revealed alleged sexual contact between the teacher and a teenage male student. It was discovered that McCommon used a specific code word in texts, known to the juvenile, to confirm his solitude before sending explicit photos on SnapChat.

Authorities have clarified that there is no evidence to suggest that McCommon's alleged crimes occurred on school premises. The Covington Police Department is urging any potential additional victims who may have been in contact with McCommon to come forward.

The Director of Schools in Tipton County, Dr. John Combs, confirmed that McCommon was suspended without pay on August 24 after a parent reported allegations of misconduct against her. McCommon's attorney has not provided immediate comment on the case.

Parents and concerned individuals who suspect their child may have been a victim of McCommon are urged to contact the Covington Police Department CID at 901-475-1261 or the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office CID at 901-475-3300.

In a distressing incident, an innocent Black man found himself wrongfully arrested and detained for nearly a week due to what appears to be a grave misuse of facial recognition technology. See detailed story here.
